Question


The scatterplot above represents the salary y, in thousands of dollars, and the  number of years of experience, x, for each of six employees at a company. A line of best fit for the data is also shown. Which of the following could be an equation of the line of best fit?

  1. y equals 3 over 2 x
  2. y equals 3 over 2 x plus 95 over 2
  3. y equals 2 over 3 x plus 95 over 2
  4. y equals 2 over 3 x plus 55

The correct answer is: y equals 3 over 2 x plus 95 over 2


    The line contains points (1,49) & (5,55)
    The line equation is
    fraction numerator y minus y subscript 1 over denominator y subscript 2 minus y subscript 1 end fraction equals fraction numerator x minus x subscript 1 over denominator x subscript 2 minus x subscript 1 end fraction
    fraction numerator y minus 49 over denominator 55 minus 49 end fraction equals fraction numerator x minus 1 over denominator 5 minus 1 end fraction
    fraction numerator y minus 49 over denominator 6 end fraction equals fraction numerator x minus 1 over denominator 4 end fraction
    4y – 196 = 6x – 6
    4y = 6x + 190
    y equals fraction numerator 6 x over denominator 4 end fraction plus 190 over 4 equals 3 over 2 x plus 95 over 2
